Arrangement and method for producing an arrangement for a vehicle roof and a system for a motor vehicle with a vehicle roof

Abstract

A method for producing an arrangement for a vehicle roof can have the steps of providing a first element with a first end and a second end, the element being couplable by the first end to the vehicle roof. The method can also have the steps of providing a pumpable substance with predetermined material properties, and applying the provided substance by injection molding at a predetermined position at the second end of the first element and thereby forming a second element such that the second element is coupled to the first element and is pivotable relative to the first element about an axis of rotation (A). An arrangement and system for a vehicle roof is also provided.

The invention claimed is: 
     
       1. A method for producing an arrangement for a vehicle roof, comprising providing a first element with a first end and a second end, the element being couplable by the first end to the vehicle roof, providing a pumpable substance with predetermined material properties, and applying the provided substance by injection molding at a predetermined position at the second end of the first element and thereby forming a second element such that the second element is coupled to the first element and is pivotable relative to the first element about an axis of rotation (A); and
 wherein the providing of the first element comprises: providing the first element with a recess at the second end such that, by applying the provided substance by injection molding, the second element is formed with a rotary element which is arranged in the recess. 
 
     
     
       2. The method according to  claim 1 , further comprising providing the first element as a raising lever which is couplable by the first end to a cover for the vehicle roof, and applying the provided substance by injection molding at a predetermined position at the second end of the raising lever and thereby forming the second element as a plastics slider such that the plastics slider is coupled to the raising lever and is pivotable relative to the raising lever about the axis of rotation (A). 
     
     
       3. The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the step of providing of the first element comprises: providing the first element with a predetermined radial geometry at the second end such that, by applying the provided substance by injection molding, the second element is formed with a radial geometry. 
     
     
       4. The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the step of providing of the first element comprises: punching and/or stamping a metal blank and thereby forming the first element with the first and second end and the recess and/or the predetermined radial geometry. 
     
     
       5. An arrangement for a vehicle roof, comprising a first element with a first end and a second end, the element being couplable by the first end to the vehicle roof, and a second element which is formed by injection molding at a predetermined position at the second end of the first element with a predetermined geometry such that the second element is coupled to the first element and is arranged pivotably relative to the first element about an axis of rotation (A); and
 wherein the first element has a recess at the second end, and the second element has a rotary element which is formed by infection molding and is arranged in the recess of the first element. 
 
     
     
       6. The arrangement according to  claim 5 , wherein the first element is a raising lever which is couplable by the first end to a cover for the vehicle roof, and the second element is a plastics slider which is formed by injection molding at a predetermined position at the second end of the raising lever with a predetermined geometry such that the plastics slider is coupled to the raising lever and is arranged pivotably relative to the raising lever about the axis of rotation (A). 
     
     
       7. The arrangement according to  claim 5 , wherein the first element has, at the second end, a predetermined radial geometry about which the second element is formed by injection molding. 
     
     
       8. A system for a motor vehicle with a vehicle roof, comprising a cover which is designed to optionally open up and to close a roof opening in the vehicle roof, and an arrangement according to  claim 6 , wherein the cover is coupled to the raising lever and the plastics slider is coupled to a guide rail, in order to raise the cover in order to open up the roof opening in the vehicle roof and to set same for closing the roof opening in the vehicle roof.
